Historical Context
Design 316, drawn in 1928, falls within the period when A. Mylne & Co. was at the height of its practice. The interwar years saw the office producing work across diverse vessel types and scales—from large motor yachts to small cruising craft. Bute Slip Dock, the builder, was one of several Scottish yards working with Mylne designs during this era. The modest dimensions of Sinbad suggest it was intended for an owner seeking an economical yet seaworthy sailing cruiser rather than a yacht of prestige or scale. Such designs were the backbone of the office's commercial practice, and their evolution reflects broader changes in amateur yachting during the 1920s and 1930s.
